Double Breakthrough To Next Rank

Jack felt his body freeze.

The air around him was heavy and suffocating, as though an unseen force pressed down on everything.

The faint rustle of leaves in the distance was drowned out by the pounding of his own heart.

'There is no way she is only S-rank!'

Emma and Apollo had told him Gaia was an S-rank Awakener.

But the terror he was feeling told him she was far stronger than that.

"I asked you a question…."

Gaia's voice cut through the oppressive silence.

She stopped speaking and frowned, turning towards Typhaon's Core.

The towering tree pulsated faintly with an eerie green glow.

"Typhaon is… asleep?"

She placed her hand on the tree's trunk.

"What did you and Neo Hargraves do to Typhaon?"

"Neo handled it just as he said he would," Jack's voice quivered.

He struggled to speak due to the overwhelming pressure of Gaia.
